Can't ping or access hosts on PIX VPN connection

I've just setup PIX 506e 6.3(3) firewall and sucsessfully connected to the internal LAN through Cisco VPN client 3.6.4 (WinXP SP2)
However I can't ping anything on the network.
Here is my config

I think ithe problem is with NAT entries.
I do not have a router on the client side.
Thanks!

>client 3.6.4 (WinXP SP2)
I think SP2 requires upgrade to 4.50 or 4.6 VPN client

Also, try adding:

access-list split_tunnel_acl permit ip 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.8.0 255.255.255.0
vpngroup Remotes split-tunnel split_tunnel_acl

You can make these more specific, but I don't think it will change anything:
>access-list inside_outbound_nat0_acl permit ip any 10.10.8.0 255.255.255.0
>access-list outside_cryptomap_dyn_20 permit ip any 10.10.8.0 255.255.255.0

to:
access-list inside_outbound_nat0_acl permit ip 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.8.0 255.255.255.0
access-list outside_cryptomap_dyn_20 permit ip 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.8.0 255.255.255.0

No go.
I've upgraded to VPN client 4.6 as well wit the same result.

When I test the following setup it wotks fine though with 3.6 and 4.6 :me confused:

VPN Client (192.168.1.101/VPN-10.10.8.01) ---> Dlink Router <----PIX (10.10.10.254) --- LAN (10.10.10.0)
I can ping, browse test lan and all.
As soon as I establish VPN connection over the Internet, I cant do any of that.

Me confused, too...
How exactly are you testing now?
Do you have a Dlink connected directly to the PIX with a PC VPN client on the other side of the Dlink?
Can you ping the outside IP of the pIX from your Internet connection?

Try adding this line to your PIX config:

isakmp nat-traversal

None of the config changes helped :(

The working test environment looks like this.

Dlink broadband router provides 192.168.0.x IPs to the client AND the PIX firewall

DLINK Router(192.168.0.X)
/ \
/ \
/ \
Client(192.168.0.101) (192.168.0.100)PIX Firewall(10.10.10.X) ---------(test lan)

When I initiate VPN tunnel with this setup, everything works fine.

However when I go on the Internet with the following setup I can establish VPN tunnel, but cant ping anything on the inside.
I can ping outside PIX ip (69.x.x.Y) or DHCP assigned one.

VPN Software Client @@@@
Internet DHCP (24.x.x.Z)--------( i-net )------- Internet DHCP (24.x.x.Y) PIX 506 (10.10.10.X) --- real LAN
or @@@@ or
Static (69.x.x.Z) Static (69.x.x.Y)

If the test environment is working then it's definitly not your PIX firewall. The problem then lies with your router on the internet or your ISP who's blocking ports.

I do not have a router between the pix and the Internet, I connect directly.
I am also trying 2 different ISPs.

Problem solved.
When I moved from the test LAN to the live network, workstations are using the original default gateway (x.x.x.240) which still in use until the full deployment of PIX.
As soon as I moved one of the clients to the PIX as the default gateway, I gained access.
Sigh, 4 days for such a simple fix, you live & u learn...

Do you need any more assistance or information?
